Maha: Ayurveda Doctor succumbs after two Private hospitals allegedly refuse admission
Maharashtra: A couple of days after the Bombay High Court directed that patients cannot be denied admission to a hospital on the ground of non-availability of medical and para-medical staff, a Maharashtra based Ayurveda doctor was allegedly denied admission by two private hospitals, wherein, one of the facilities turned him down suspecting COVID, while the other refused to admit non-COVID patients.
The doctor subsequently passed away due to cardiac arrest after being refused admission.
The deceased doctor has been identified as a 45-year-old resident of Maharashtra. He was suffering from health complications and was allegedly denied admission by two of the private facilities. After the hospitals refused to admit him, his condition declined. He suffered a cardiac arrest and subsequently passed away early on Thursday in the Yavatmal area.
At a time like this when the health care workers are working day and night in order to contain the pandemic, the incident where both of the health facilities allegedly did not provide any preliminary treatment to a doctor and refused to admit him has been severely criticized by the medical community.
